The Bayelsa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, have endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 general election.
The endorsement took place at the APC’s 12th Expanded Stakeholders’ Meeting in Yenagoa on Tuesday.
The party pledged to mobilise members, structures, and resources across all wards and local government areas in that state to secure a “resounding victory” for Tinubu in 2027.
However, the absence of the Minister of State for Petroleum (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, and the party’s 2019 governorship candidate David Lyon, has raised questions about the unity of the APC in that state.
Former governor and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, expressed regret over the absence of Lokpobiri and Lyon, saying their participation would have demonstrated a united front before the NWC.
